Japanese Proverbs 3

Here is today's proverb:

犬も歩けば棒に当たる

And in romaji:

inu mo arukeba bo ni ataru

And English: "Even a dog, if it goes walking, can run into a pole."

The idea is that there are hazards everywhere: even a dog just going for a walk can run into a pole. Life is full of unexpected events! I was on the receiving end of some unexpected events this week, so I could definitely relate to this saying.

My vocabulary for today:

犬

 inu — "dog"
